Wolfsin and BMS should know by now that Owen's about the most immune person to peer pressure to walk the earth ... they'll be ready when he's happy with them and when they arrive they'll be even more awesome than you anticipated ... 😀 [business as usual for The Wire series designs by opc]

Hi Gents,

I've been keeping off email and forums the past few days so I could get some actual work done and place all the part orders I needed for the latest set of prototypes 🙂

I have attached a few "teasers" of the boards that just arrived today. Apologies for the terrible photography... I promise it wasn't the camera's fault 😉

I'm sure people will be able to figure out what exactly they are...

I'll be looking for 6 beta testers who have the following skill set:

1. Ability to solder a lot of very difficult parts. (difficulty is a solid 8/10)
2. Ability to write and modify code (Arduino)
3. Ability to perform measurements with access to measurement gear
4. Ability to write SW for Windows to perform measurements (A la RMAA)
5. Ability to pay for parts and boards at cost (even at cost, these aren't cheap!)

Certainly only a few of the above skills are mandatory, and many are optional. The mandatory skills are the ones that involve building and affording.

I already have two testers dedicated, one of whom will be leading SW work.

If you are interested, please send me a PM with your skills, why you want to work on it, what you plan to do with it, and what your limitations are.

Cheers,
Owen

Oh. My. God. Finally a tangible reference-quality ADC for the DIY crowd, unless you're only looking to offer it as a complete product. In any case, I'm EXTREMELY excited about that ADC in the first picture (it's not quite blurry enough 😉). ES9102C perhaps?

I'm looking forward to the ntd1 after qusp did the runner with my ntd1 and parts ��

Hi Crazikid,

Did you order an NTD1 and not get it? Was it part of the V2 group buy?

If so, please send me a PM and explain what happened along with exactly what you paid for and what you didn't get. Hopefully I can get a replacement sent out to you.

If you had ordered separate parts from qusp then there's not much I can do, but I can replace the PCB or the matched fets if you didn't get those. I have one spare set here that was for me, but hasn't been built yet.

Regards,
Owen

It will definitely be offered as DIY first, and as a complete product later. There will be no in-between (eg. just completed boards).

If you have the skills to build it, program it, and test it, then you get it at DIY costs (read this as "I'm willing to trade a lot of my time to save money on the hardware"). If you don't have those skills, then you can always buy the finished product!

I should clarify that the developers I'm looking for will be working on software for the DIY community. I will pick and chose what will end up in the products, and people who elect to contribute towards that will be compensated for their work.

Cheers,
Owen

Wow, cool stuff Owen... not having mad programming skills or the tools to do series measurements, it'd be wrong to even try taking a unit away from someone who'd be able to make a more positive impact for the community.

Looking forward to hearing more as time allows, good luck 🙂

As I posted previously, I have input the BOM into Mouser project manager and can share it using AccessID

I chose Mouuser because they are generally cheaper than Digi-key.
There are a few iput coupling optional parts that you can delete or chose since a few of them are not in stock anyways. The bulk of the parts are there and some thermal membrane options which are also not covered very well in OPC LME49830 BOM's.
Let me know if you have any questions.
As far as finding a sub heatsink, I can only suggest to add something extra onto the Ohmite part, like the sides are accessible to screw on another piece of aluminum. You have the height available up to the big ecaps (1000u/100V) 40mm
I see LME49830 is on back order again, at Mouser, wow lots of these being used up.

I see Digi-Key has this one in stock. Last time I checked it is a good sub, check just to be sure.

Do you still have that BOM Project to share via Mouser "Project Manager"?
(trying to reply to post #243)

Thanks

Hi Gentlemen,

Apologies for the late reply.

All orders are packed up and ready to go, but I forgot to print the shipping labels on Friday, so I'll send everything out Monday afternoon.

Sorry again for the delay.

Regards,
Owen
